The Executive Leadership Program (ELP) is a highly-respected, graduate-level certificate program. The curriculum is carefully integrated to provide an intensive exploration of leadership and its personal meaning in each participant’s life. The outcome of the program is a deeper knowledge of leadership, greater confidence, and a keen awareness of the values that guide executive decisions, so managers serve their organizations and the greater good. ELP is known for developing high-impact leaders of strong character. It broadens leaders’ perspectives through multidisciplinary and multi-industry exposure, as well as from coursework, reflection, and rigorous application. The ELP program is particularly well-suited for individuals who already hold an MBA or other graduate degree or those who may not be able to pursue one at this time.

The ELP is an 8-month cohort program encompassing 20 credits over 2 quarters. The program complements executive schedules with courses offered in compact, 3-day modules.

"In the Albers School of Business and Economics at Seattle University’s eight-month executive leadership program, topics range from “Ethical Leadership” and “Leadership for a Just and Humane World” to “Building Vision for a Global Commons.” The program thrives on a similar networking-focused maxim.

“Some challenging themes in business are recurrent, perhaps because businesses involve people and few individuals are fully enlightened,” says John Dienhart, Director of Albers Business Ethics Initiative and “Ethical Leadership” professor. “Many business crises, scandals, and failures can be traced to leaders who take a narrow, rather than broad view, of self- or organizational interest. They fail to understand relationship—how everyone is connected.”

The curriculum’s personal development focus extends to the community; all participants work on a social justice project. One group of students worked with the Washington state legislature to push for passage of a law enabling foster children to get educational aid after they leave the foster system at 18 years old"
